In earthworms, each segment can move independently, so that alternating contractions between the two different sets of muscles in many different segments create shape changes all along the body. This produces accordion-like body movements that help the worm push through soil and maneuver through small spaces within

When the circular muscles contract, the earthworm stretches, becoming longer and thinner. The earthworm uses its setae to anchor the front of its body in the soil. Now the longitudinal muscles contract and the earthworm becomes shorter and wider or it bends from one side to the other, pulling the body forward.

If the frequency of an allele is 0.75, how many copies of this allele should be in a population of 300 diploid individuals?
Ray Of Light [21]

I have provided the options below:

a. 150

b. 225

c. 300

d. 450

e. 75

Answer:

150

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg law states, the allelic frequencies of a gene that is, q and p follow the relationship p^2+q^2+2pq = 1, if the population is in equilibrium.

Therefore p^2+q^2+2pq = 1, can be used to calculate the percentage of the allelic frequencies i.e. p^2 and q^2

Allelic frequency = 0.75.

Therefore, the percentage of the allele in the population would be given by

0.75^2 = 0.5625 = 56%.

And the total number of individuals with this allele in the population:

number of individuals = 56×300÷100

= 168 or

150 nearest figure.

The fetal skeletal is made of cartilage and eventually turns to bone in a process called ossification. Given what you know about
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Explanation:

Based on what is known about the fetal skeleton and the ossification process it can be said that this occurs due to babies having more of the osteoblasts bone cells. These cell's main function is to lay down new bone material, this therefore creates a thicker harder bone which allows for proper support so that the body can continue growing and become stronger overall.

The overgrowth of algae poses a major problem for coral reefs. fish eat algae. why would intensive fishing contribute to the ove
pychu [463]
In the open ocean, especially around the surface, one of the main sources of food for fish would be the algae that grow at the surface & photosynthesize with the sun. Without fish to regulate the amount of surface algae, they overgrow and block the sun from the organisms on the coral reef.

Without sun, the reef is not able to sustain themselves & it's down hill from there.

I hope this helps!
